Met Life to Exit the Long Term Care Insurance (LTCi) Business in 2011

Posted in All, Genworth Companies, John Hancock, Long Term Care, Metlife, Mutual of Omaha on November 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Met Life recently announced their intention to exit the Long Term Care Insurance business for NEW customers beginning in 2011.  All existing Met Life Long Term Care policyholders will be able to keep their policies as long as they continue to pay their premiums.

Long Term Care has been a very difficult product for Insurance Companies to price.  Insurance companies’ primary assumptions on interest rates, mortality, morbidity and retention have not been in line with actual results.  This caused some carriers to exit the business and others to be forced to take rate increases on their products.

Met Life was one of the largest providers of Long Term Care insurance in the United States, especially in the group market.  Some of the notable remaining carriers are Genworth, John Hancock, Prudential and Mutual of Omaha.

Here is the story from the New York Times.

Here is a press release from Met Life.

John Hancock to increase long-term care insurance rates on in-force business

Posted in Insurance Companies, John Hancock on August 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

The Washington Post /Kiplinger’s Personal Finance (8/17, F3, Lankford) reported, “John Hancock, one of the largest long-term-care insurers, plans to raise rates on existing policyholders for the first time ever.” The company “is filing for a rate increase on long-term-care policies sold in the 1990s and on some newer New York State Partnership policies” at an average of “$21 per month ($252 per year).” The rate increase is expected to “affect about 275,000 people, or about one-fourth of the company’s long-term-care customers.” While “[p]remiums will rise 13 percent on policies originally issued by John Hancock,” they will “jump 18 percent on policies the company took over from Fortis in 2000.” According to Kiplinger, the rate increase is “because John Hancock anticipated more people would drop their long-term-care coverage before collecting benefits.” Meanwhile, Kiplinger recommends “hold[ing] on to [the] policy,” despite the increase, since “[m]ost long-term-care insurers have raised rates for new buyers the past few years.”
